This round is a disaster so far. Barbosa looks lost.
Team really came to compete….
Time to find some new coaches.

We look like dogshit but it’s absolutely no surprise. It’s been this way for years in March unfortunately.

Watching the Bianchi match before Pinto's, we just don't wrestle with that type of intensity to get the job done. Everything's in slow motion and nonchalant. That's got to be a room thing.

Went from peak of two champs to years of multiple AA.. to now it’s looking like a real possibility of no AA in the last 3 out of 4 years… even the most optimistic RU fans, only seeing through rose colored glasses, can’t deny this regression….. gotta figure out ways to steer program back in the right direction..

Pinto certainly looked more electric when he was at Nebraska.. so it’s not a talent issue w him.. could be a room thing or maybe individual thing… case of senioritis maybe… we need a Ash/Suriano lvl wrestler back on the roster. To show how to live a championship lifestyle/mentality.

I know what you mean, but don't we need leadership to show/teach the team how to 'live a championship lifestyle/mentality" and not rely on other wrestlers in the room? Unless your point is that leadership isn't doing it, so....

Pinto with a nice takedown and ride. Not sure why Pinto cut Schubert when he was riding well and didn't try to get another takedown.

Pinto can’t get off of bottom to save his life and drops his match as well.

Still 0 wins this round. Absolutely pathetic showing

The Goodale defenders will come. Dw. The points will be look where Goodale has taken RU and will bring up the dual meet team results/ranking.
They can't rely on that anymore. The team is not going anywhere. Just get rid of the guy already. Him b******* lines

This has been a nightmare round.... no sugarcoating it.... But cmon knock it off that every time something negative happens... trolls like you jump in with fire the coach Schick... It's really getting old brah... Nebraska fired Pellini cuz 9-10 wins wasn't good enough... 4 coaches later... They're celebrating a 7 win season...

And now we have Soldano wrestling above his seed. And taking down the 12 seed from Iowa state.
